When I started my academic job at the University of East Anglia’s London campus in 2012, we have started to live and experience the city of London with all its glories and attractions.

I still remember the first time my wife Sertac and I went to a London musical. It was on the 9h of February in 2012 and we went to Billy Elliot musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London’s West End.

I cannot forget how much I was impressed by the whole magical experience.

How come a musical is so magical and impressive?

I think it is a complex formula unleashed by a mix of factors including:

• live music and orchestra,
• a very talented cast and acting team,
• fascinating choreography and dances,
• captivating set design,
• top quality screenwriting,
• authentic costume design,
• beautiful singing, and
• inspiring storytelling.
